GOP & Budgets: By Jove, I think they've (finally) got it!

Boener on how spending bills are submitted:

Let's do away with the concept of "comprehensive" spending bills. Let's break them up, to encourage scrutiny, and make spending cuts easier. Rather than pairing agencies and departments together, let them come to the House floor individually, to be judged on their own merit. Members shouldn't have to vote for big spending increases at the Labor Department in order to fund Health and Human Services. Members shouldn't have to vote for big increases at the Commerce Department just because they support NASA. Each Department and agency should justify itself each year to the full House and Senate, and be judged on its own.

It shouldn't be policy...IT SHOULD BE THE ****ING LAW!!!

My representative, John Spratt, is the chairman of the Budget Committee. They are supposed to submit a budget by April 15 every year. They have not submitted a budget so far this year.

FY10 is closed with no budget, period; and we started FY11 under a CRA.

Economic uncertainty is bad for the economy and it's playing havoc on the gov't service side. Nobody knows WTF is going on.
